Pakistan is poised to receive the next tranche of its loan under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, as the Fund’s Executive Board has scheduled a meeting for December 8, sources confirmed on Thursday.

During the session, the IMF is expected to approve the release of $1.2 billion, including $1 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and an additional $200 million for climate financing.

Ahead of the meeting, the government will release the Governance and Corruption Diagnostic Assessment Report, which is among the IMF’s key structural benchmarks.

According to sources, the Finance Ministry has resolved all technical differences related to the report.

The upcoming disbursement follows the staff-level agreement reached between Pakistan and the IMF on October 14, paving the way for the continuation of the loan programme and ensuring vital fiscal support amid ongoing economic challenges.
